How to Fix the Sharks

/

The Sharks ruined their primary jerseys last year by dumping the waist striping. Bastian Schmülling proposes a simple fix that also ditches the burnt orange accents. Who's on board?

Colorado Simplified

Over the weekend, following the draft, I noted on Twitter that I think the Colorado Avalanche should be next with a jersey overhaul — something a lot of folks seemed to agree with. Bastian Schmülling to the rescue.

Something as simple as this could do wonders for the Avs, letting that great crest shine without being boxed in by useless and ugly apron-string piping.

By the way, as we officially begin the second half of 2014 today, I thought I'd clue you in on the highest-rated concept of the first half. Fittingly, it was another design from Mr. Schmülling posted just a few weeks ago. And here's the runner-up.

Whale Reborn

/

We interrupt our regularly scheduled College Saturday series for a superb retro revitalization. Here's what the inevitable return of the Hartford Whalers would look like if Bastian Schmülling had anything to say about it.

A Bastian of German Hockey

/

The big finale of Bastian Schmülling Week could not be more appropriate. We wrap up on an International Sunday where the German jersey designer tackles teams from his home country — and specifically, the Deutsche Eishockey Liga.

In the starring role up top is the DEL club from Germany's capital, Eisbären Berlin. But there's more. The league boasts 14 teams, but Bastian has incredible concepts for 10 of them! So as a bonus, you can find them all below.

I hope everyone has enjoyed Bastian's work as much as I do, but I think we can all agree it's time to get back to a little variety in our featured artists.
